A quick definition of cursitor:

Term: CURSITOR

Definition: A long time ago, there were people called cursitors who worked in a special office called the chancery. Their job was to write important papers called original writs. These writs were very important because they helped people solve legal problems. The word "cursitor" comes from the Latin words "de cursu" which means "on the run" because the clerks had to write these writs quickly.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A cursitor was a clerk in the chancery who was responsible for creating original writs. The term "cursitor" comes from the writs de cursu that these clerks wrote out.

Example: In medieval England, a cursitor was an important figure in the legal system. They were responsible for drafting writs, which were legal documents that initiated a lawsuit. These writs were written in Latin and were used to summon defendants to court.

Explanation: The example illustrates how a cursitor was an essential part of the legal system in medieval England. They were responsible for creating writs, which were the first step in initiating a lawsuit. Without cursitors, the legal system would not have been able to function properly.
